KEROSENE: DIRTY, DIM and DANGEROUS

In the poorest communities where households survive on less than $1.50 per day, kerosene consumes 14% of the household budget.

780 million women and children inhale kerosene fumes that are equivalent to smoking two packs of cigarettes per day.

1.5 million people will die each year as a result of indoor air pollution.

Kerosene is responsible for emitting 244 million tons of carbon dioxide each year.

The light emitted by kerosene lamps and wax candles is dim and flickering, while just one LED lamp generates strong, steady light that is over 100 times brighter.
